Until I got my Pi 2B, my only experience with Wifi was the internal units in my laptops.
I've got the Element 14 Wi-Pi dongle and it seems to work well, but it sticks out quite a bit
more than the stubby little nano versions from Plugable and others, which resemble the 2.4
Ghz dongles for keyboards & mice.
The size isn't so important to me as reliable signal strength, as my Pi will say goodbye
to the AC socket as soon as possible.
Has anyone here done any comparative tests on various dongles ? Subjective opinions?
Lemons? Lemonade?
Is the larger size dongle the result of a better antennae, or just older tech?
